You've got to be kidding me. I've been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense

Cewley:i'm thinking that if the tsa screenings are keeping people from doing bad shiat, then that's the price we have to pay. this twinkee can take the farking bus if she has a problem.

The pat downs are such a joke, they arent going to stop anything. They are already inhibited from screening for likely bombers, so they waste time on white girls and congress-critters. The pat down motions are stilted and the agents are concentrating more on not groping your nads than they are on whether you have a bomb up your butt. If the last five or six attempts have taught us anything it is that they avoid the screening areas..... shoes, then underwear, etc......

Actually they seem to have switched completely from air travel to other crowds. The TSA is never going to keep up. Its just a union of low paid largely unskilled and low IQ employees going through rote repetitions of federal guidelines.

Lets compare them to the kind of security that Israel employs in its airlines, where they arent afraid to ask you about your political opinions of islam and Israel, and to screen you based on where you are from instead of how well you fit a random cross section of America.

Bleh. I feel like there's a lot of stupid absolutism going on in this thread.

I get sick of people equating "not doing everything" with "doing nothing". To say the TSA has prevented or accomplished absolutely nothing is asinine. I think some example links were provided on the third or fourth page. Even barring that, they have at the very least raised the barrier of entry to bringing bombs or weapons on a plane. Do you instead want to argue that what they're accomplishing is not congruous to the cost of operation? If so, then I won't just discount your opinion immediately.

Even worse is the sentiment that some people seem to have that every last TSA agent is a mentally retarded, filthy perverted crook. To those of you who make statements claiming or implying this: do you have any idea how stupid you sound? Are there TSA agents who happen to be filthy perverted crooks? Yeah, probably. I bet they're not in the majority though. And what about all those who aren't? Does it ever occur to you that, maybe, just maybe, if you don't treat someone like scum, they might be less likely to act like/become scum? It's like getting into a fight with the cop writing you a ticket. No matter how bad of a tantrum you throw, the cop will never change his/her mind... you only stand to make things worse for yourself. Sure, you can disagree vehemently with the TSA's procedures/philosophy/existence, but as at least one person pointed out, write your representatives? What the hell purpose does it serve to take it out on the bottom-tier mook who's just trying to put dinner on the table?

Am I the only one who wouldn't care about being touched for a legit screening process? I wouldn't get off on it, either, I just wouldn't care. I'm sure the workers absolutely hate their job so I don't get why people seem to have this vision of a lecherous agent grabbing them all over.

I sometimes wonder if I was the only male who paid attention during that portion of sex ed class, while the rest of the boys just sat there, slack-jawed, staring at the pictures with a vague buzzing ringing in their ears.

The more you know: people often conceal illegal items in areas of their bodies that are considered taboo for strangers to touch. If you choose to subject yourself to a pat-down instead of going through a detector to avoid unreasonable searches, you're doing it wrong.

Did the TSA agent touch her chest and crotch? Yes. Is that standard operating procedure for a pat-down? Yes. Was it sexual in nature? Almost certainly not.

My balls have been cupped more times than I can count going into soccer games in Brazil (where people like to bring in fire-crackers). It never occurred to me to feel bad for myself, but I definitely felt bad for the cop whose turn it was to cup hundreds of balls. I feel the same sympathy for TSA agents.

The_Original_Roxtar:ongbok: She defiantly got at least one in the pink. If she hadn't flinched, the screener would have slipped one in the stink.

But seriously, there has got to be a better way of doing this. Why do you have to grab peoples private areas? You can do a pat down without doing that.

it's called "Profiling", but we can't do that because racism.

gotta treat the 75 year old black grandmother the same as the 27 year old male saudi national with a 1-way ticket.

there are ways of profiling that don't involve racism. The TSA SHOULD be profiling for certain kinds of behavior or actions, both of which are far more likely to direct you to an actual threat than skin color or country of origin.

That being said, this girl was being a dick for the cameras and making a scene where there shouldn't have been one.

/My contempt for the TSA and my loathing of all things infowars are currently locked in a death match.

Ashley Jessica, an Infowars.com activist unemployed dropout, recently uploaded a video to http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=XvT40xUr50k">Yo uTube of a TSA agent allegedly touching her vagina through her clothing during an airport pat down went attention whoring at the airport.

Her clothes fit pretty tight on her, it's obvious at a glance that she isn't carrying anything dangerous, not even a box cutter. Unless, of course, the terrorist object is actually hidden in her vagina. I recommend a full body cavity search, just to make sure.

Every person that is frisked or irradiated is another win for the terrorists. Every time a person has to take off their shoes is a win for the terrorists, and every time they have to shuffle off to the side to put them back on is a win for the terrorists. The TSA works for the terrorists, hassling Americans for the past 12 years with very little to show for it.

So because you're OK with it, everybody else ought to be as well, right...? Including the rape victims.

flaflaflowhigh:Putting locks on the cockpit doors solved the problem of 9/11. Everything else is just to make people feel better.

Solution was even simpler, a policy change from "Do whatever the hijacker says" was all that was necessary.

Before 9/11 anyone looking to take over a plane wanted it taken somewhere and maybe some political prisoners released. The hijacker intended to live and therefore keeping them calm and happy kept everyone alive. With the advent of suicide hijackers the pilots and attendants are now free to deal with the situation in an aggressive manner.

How stupid do you have to be to believe appeasement is a viable plan?Why, just as stupid as allowing the Bullchit Patriot Act to stand.
